How to get your ISEE online and FREE?

As an Expat living in Italy, I am sure by now, you would have recognised the importance of ISEE (Indicatore della Situazione Economica Equivalente) in Italy. ISEE is also called the Equivalent Economic Status Index. It is the metrics used by the Italian government to assess, and certify one’s annual income and know their economic situation.

All applicants who want to avail themselves the benefits or bonuses from the government, should get the new ISEE for the previous calander year. You can approach CAF or get ISEE online and free using the new portal with easy interface provided by INPS.

So, let us start with the basics.

What is ISEE

Italian government provides many assistance, bonuses or help to deserving people in the country. This assistance is not constrained to Italy’s own citizens but expanded to all the residents in Italy. It means it is for all – be it an EU citizen, or a non-EU citizen.

On a high level, ISEE is sort of a methodology for the Italian government to identify those deserving candidates who may need financial assistance. This is based on the income you earn, assets you have – like cash or property, and mainly your living expenses etc.

Benefits of ISEE

I have already covered in detail the benefits of ISEE, I would recommend you to read it if you are looking for more details on what benefits you can demand from government. Basically, all government benefits require the ISEE and it has to be applied and received from the government. Fortunately, it is a simple process. You can visit the nearest CAF or ACLI to get this ISEE.

Two Phases in Acquiring ISEE online and Free

There are two phases in applying and requesting for the ISEE online.

The first phase is to choose the kind of DSU you want and add all the details of you and your family members.

Although a majority of the residents would apply for the DSU Mini, which is much more than sufficient, there are also other specific types. For example, if you are getting this ISEE for university admission, then you should apply for the ISEE university. Once you identify and select the type of DSU you want to file, you can go ahead to fill out the forms.

Once this is done and submitted, the information will be passed to Agenzia della Entrate (Revenue office). They validate the information provided by you, and either send the approval or rejection. If rejected, you have the option to correct the errors and resend for further approval.

The second phase starts after the approval and allows you to access the precompiled forms related to your financial position including the declaration of your property, car etc.

First Phase of ISEE Online Application

For every dependent above the age of 18, you should acknowledge their details by entering their Tessera Sanitaria card number and its validity. Use the “Delega e Riscontro” menu as shown below.

Once you key in the below section, move ahead to declare if they have income or not. And save the form.

This will make save the dependents details. Repeat this step for every cross you see in the list.

Once completed, you will be allotted a number, and the form will be sent to the Revenue office. Wait for an email confirmation and notification about the approval of the form for further processing.

Until you get approval, you will have the status as “DA ELABORATE”.

Second Phase of ISEE Online Application

Once Agenzia della entrate completes the validation, you can see 3 different statuses on here.

If everything is good, you can see it as ELABORATA. Which means you are good to go for completing the application.

If you see SOSPESA, it could mean that some of the entries are not right. And you need to correct them and send them back. You have to be a bit careful here. You have 3 chances to correct it and send it back. If 3rd try fails, you will see the status as BLOCCATO.

So, my recommendation is, if you see SOSPESA, better to contact CAF for assistance.

Once you see ELABORATA, go ahead and complete the application. As you see below, there are several forms that need to be filled out. Most of them would be pre-filled. All you need is to verify and confirm them.

Menus

All your bank accounts and balances for the respective year will be auto-filled. If you have registered your rental contract with Agenzia della Entrate, those details will also be auto-filled. If not, you can manually enter the annual rental value in the form. In case you own a car or motor, you can fill in here.

Finally, review the details and confirm the updates. Once you undersign and send the application the process is completed.

If you have accepted all the pre-filled details, you should have the DSU available for download immediately.

Congratulations!!!

You have your ISEE ready, and you are ready to claim benefits from the Italian government.
